Chapter 23: Three things

This little girl, is she looking for him to apprentice?

Looking at Azuki's serious expression, Orochimaru's brows furrowed even tighter, feeling very tricky.

It is true that in the anime "Hokage", Red Bean is indeed his disciple, and he has followed him to complete the mission since he was very young. Although the protagonist of the anime is not Orochimaru, there is also a word in it that mentions that after he defected to Konoha, Red Bean Yu has been looking for his whereabouts for many years, and even later wanted to use the forbidden art he taught to die together, and there is also an unfinished version of his curse mark on his neck.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very entangled.

However...... That's just something mentioned in the anime.

Orochimaru doesn't understand, why did he in "Naruto" get himself a drag oil bottle?

Teaching disciples is undoubtedly a thankless task, as it takes a lot of time, and for Orochimaru, time is the most precious.

If you need an assistant, the snake clone is already your best assistant, and there is no need for more than one person to come out.

After thinking for a while, Orochimaru decided to refuse, so he said bluntly: "I'm sorry, Hongdou, I don't have the idea of accepting disciples for the time being, so you better ask somewhere else." ”

"Really......"

Hongdou blinked his big eyes and secretly glanced at Orochimaru, and his expression suddenly darkened.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work? That's right, Orochimaru-sama is so busy on weekdays......"

Following the red bean's line of sight, Orochimaru looked down and saw the shell necklace around his neck, and he regained his eyesight, and he could see the necklace clearly at this time.

The necklace's shells are large and round, each one is pure white, and it is clear that it has been carefully selected, and the living room light is pouring down, and even the surface can be seen glittering. Especially the words of the big snake pill engraved on it, every stroke is vigorous and powerful, and the handwriting is reasonably polished, so that people will not prick their hands when they are touched. As a gift, this thing should have taken a lot of effort.

After thinking about it, Orochimaru asked, "Why do you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”

The girl's thin eyebrows trembled slightly, and she raised her head, with a determined color in her expression: "My wish is to protect Konoha and protect the people of the Fire Country, and no longer be harmed by war!" So, I want to be a great and powerful ninja like Orochimaru-sama! ”

Orochimaru frowned, shook his head, and said, "Ninja is not playing a game. ”

"I know!"

Red Bean's voice grew louder and louder, and as she said this, she bit her lower lip tightly, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"My parents, my friends, my classmates...... They all died in the war, so I must be strong and sacrifice to protect no one more! ”

Speaking of this, the red bean "plopped" and sat on his knees with his legs, his hands flat on the ground, and his head on top of his hands.

"Please, Lord Orochimaru, take red beans as an apprentice!"

“……”

Orochimaru stared at the little girl in front of him.

After a long time, he shook his head and let out a long sigh in his heart.

Wherever there are leaves, the fire burns, and the shadow of the fire shines on the village and allows new leaves to sprout, one generation after another......

The little girl of the Hyuga family is like this, and so is this younger girl.

Old man, your education has been too successful.

The Will of Fire, a spirit that has been passed down since the first Hokage, allows the people of the country to sacrifice their lives and fight to defend their ideal homeland. Orochimaru actually does not deny this spirit, because without such a spirit, the country may have perished long ago, or external enemies, or internal strife, and society would become a mess. The people may have a spiritual leader in their hearts, a direction that can unite the people, a methodology that can maintain social stability, and so the "will of fire" stands up.

The spirit is right, the future is bright, but the road is still tortuous.

Because, until now, the ninjas did not realize that the real culprit caused the war.

"Do you really want to worship me as a teacher?" Orochimaru stepped forward and lifted the red bean up from the ground, "If you can promise to do the three things I entrusted to you, then I can consider it." ”

"Really?" Hongdou raised his head suddenly, his eyes revealing surprise, "Lord Orochimaru, what are the three things, please give me orders!" ”

"Okay, then I'll say it."

Orochimaru nodded, and said slowly.

"First, under non-specific tasks, you can only complete all the tasks alone, and I can spend time teaching a child, but I will not feed her food directly."

"Second, do not show the power I have given to you to the world unless the other person is a dead man, except in exceptional circumstances."

"Third ......"

Speaking of this, the corners of Orochimaru's mouth rose slightly, his scarlet tongue licked his lips, and a glimmer of light appeared in his golden vertical pupils.

"Come here."

Red Beans were listening carefully, and when he saw Orochimaru signaling to him, he nodded and came to Orochimaru's side.

Orochimaru smiled, his pale right hand stretched out, stroking the girl's cute little head, and his fingers ran through the purple hair, feeling the smoothness of the hair.

"Hmm...... Orochimaru-sama ......"

Red Bean closed his eyes, enjoying Orochimaru's touch, and muttered softly in his mouth.

At this moment, suddenly, she felt a slight pain in her neck. Immediately afterwards, a burning sensation began in the neck and gradually spread to all parts of the body.

"Ah......h

Red Bean screamed in pain and subconsciously opened his eyes.

I saw that Orochimaru-sama was still smiling...... He bowed his head to his neck, the canine teeth in his mouth digging deep into the skin of his neck.

A moment later, three black marks appeared on her neck, glowing red.

"Orochimaru-sama, you ......"

Azumi's eyes widened as she looked at Orochimaru in shock, the burning and painful sensations almost suffocated her, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead like a bucket. She gritted her teeth and insisted on keeping herself calm, but this insistence was only for a moment, and in just a few breaths, her eyes went black and she was completely unconscious.

"Third, only by surviving can I become my disciple."

Before she fell unconscious, Orochimaru's voice echoed in her ears, as hoarse as ever, and full of magnetic charm.

After a while, when the air was completely quiet, a puzzled voice came from the corner of the living room.

"Orochimaru-sama, why do you want to accept apprentices?"

The snake clone came out of the darkness and came to Orochimaru's side.

As Orochimaru's secret assistant, when a guest comes, it will temporarily sneak into the shadows with the snake protection color, and after waiting for the guest to leave, it will reappear.

As a snake with an inquisitive spirit, it will always be full of curiosity in its actions towards Orochimaru.
